4:54 PM I now have the dubious honour of having read every peice of red meat there is.

4:49 PM I am so Bored! Everything is just about to happen for me. I'm just about to get a domain name for myself, and get an ad-free page. I'm just about to get my own G4. And so on. But right at this moment, there is nothing I can do. I can't concentrate. I can't think straight. i'm laggging way, way behind in my answering of email. I am really, really bored.

4:22 PM "How am I supposed to be a non-conformist while everyone else is trying to do the same?" Good point. But I don't think it's absolutely impossible. I'm currently working on this problem myself, and I have a few ideas.... 1] Look at all the other logs. Once you've done that, you'll be so sick of certain things (eg: links that change color on mouseover) that you won't be able to stomach the mere thought of them on your own log. 2] Make lots and lots of layouts. Betatest them on the web (as I'm doing right now). Record the features than people complain about the most, and only get rid of those features in re-designs. 3] Constant redesign is bad. Occaisional redesign which has more or less the same feel as the old design is good. 4] You could even concentrate on content rather than design? Nah....

2:17 PM Ultra-Long term Ambition: Create a web-browser or proxy/mediator(most likely a java applet, actually) which displays pages like this. (Why was I fiddling with screenshots? Well, you may notice that Dan's site has a slight glitch when veiwed on this machine - I was going to tell him, but then the temptation to apply "just a few filters" became to great to resist. May the design god forgive me.)

3:55 AM I'm not the only one to parody literary critics. At least, I hope that this is a parody. [Dan says I shouldn't use <link src=> notation anymore, because he made it up. Apparently. So, here's my new method of sourcing links: (link.finder == Dan) Yes, I realise that's the web design equivilant of an Evil Wizard kidnapping a Fair Princess to lure the White Knight into a Cunning Trap, but, really, how much variation can you get with these little sourcing notations? I guess I could just say: (Link stolen from a superior logger to make myself look good). Yes, I think I like that notation better. Nice and honest.]

2:43 AM It's been a good day. I've aquired several new email adresses, most notably at microsith.com. And that's what makes Emlyns happy. Apart from wanting a little stability and certainty in their little lives, but that's just wacky.

10:21 PM Stormdamage is a great place to send annoying SMS's to the webmistress. So go annoy her. Now. She deserves it. Sorry, but I think she's just asking for trouble, putting a form like that on her site.
